in reply to Re: A little network question in thread A little network question
Maybe this will answer that last one:
I came up with this idea yesterday because the name server here went down, as it does many times. It was frustrating to me because I knew that if I had the IPs of the sites, I would at least be able to do some surfing (work is boring, and also a bitch because our air conditioning wasn't ready yet--yesterday was 80 something here). So I thought that a great way to apply what I've learned so far would be to write a little script to fetch the IPs from an alternate nameserver. Is this kind of a weird reason? Probably. But this was more of an excercise than anything.
